More than 75% of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions come from energy production and use, so it’s clear why the EU must decarbonize its energy system to reach the Green Deal’s climate objectives. The Green Deal calls for a number of measures, including linking renewables to the grid, promoting connected technologies, and boosting the energy efficiency of electrical products and devices.
Solar and hybrid streetlighting arrives in Italy
Signify brought its innovative solar hybrid technology to Italy for the first time, bolstering the municipality of Montorso Vicentino, in the province of Vicenza.
Solar energy lights up the lagoon
Signify is using its Philips SunStay luminaires to harness solar energy and improve the lighting around the bay area of Cavallino Treporti in the province of Venice.
Safe and sustainable cities thanks to Philips SunStay
Signify improved the lighting in eight different municipalities across the Veneto region, providing Philips SunStay solar or hybrid-powered luminaires to make the cities safer and more sustainable.
Signify solar lighting is a clean alternative
As part of Signify's Green Switch initiative, solar lighting is being promoted as a cost-effective and cleaner technology alternative to traditional street lighting.
Solar boosting energy efficiency and safety on Greek island
Signify installed solar luminaires to protect the island’s environment while enhancing safety in places that were insufficiently illuminated before.
Solar lights the way towards sustainability
The rise of solar energy is leading to a shift in the way we power lighting across the world.
Signify offers product portfolio meeting new EU Ecodesign and Energy labeling regulations
Signify confirms that its leading lighting portfolio will meet the new EU Ecodesign and Energy labeling regulations, which will affect all lighting products in the EU Member States from September 2021 onwards.
Driving sustainability breakthroughs with the IoT
Since sustainability is a system design issue, how can IoT systems help create the necessary conditions for making fundamental changes in how we consume and structure our economic life?
Seville improves citizens’ safety with Signify’s solar street lights
Solar lighting will enhance the safety of visitors to the Infanta Elena Park in Seville, Spain. During the pilot project, 20 Philips SunStay solar street lights will be installed in the park, underscoring both Seville’s and Signify’s commitment to sustainability.
Circular economy
The circular economy has everything to do with sustainable consumption, reuse, and eliminating waste. Signify’s recyclable 3D-printed luminaires cut the carbon footprint for lighting in half. Circular streetlights reduce maintenance costs by 60%, with zero waste to landfill. And Light-as-a-Service approaches promote sustainability along the entire lighting lifecycle.
Clean mobility
Charge stations built into digital streetlights support the Green Deal’s goal of a million EV charging points in Europe by 2025. Savings from energy-efficiency renovations and LED and solar street lighting can power tens of thousands of EVs without extra power generation.
Biodiversity
A farm-to-fork approach helps to preserve the world’s food supply. LED grow lights boost crop quality and yield with up to half the energy consumption. Lighting designed for vertical farming near cities reduces the carbon and water use, and reduces food miles, while aquaculture lighting increases yield, improves feed conversion and improves animal welfare.
